Give Food & Hope to Poor Schoolchildren in Zambia

Summary

In Kawama, Ndola, hunger keeps children out of school or unable to learn. The School Feeding Program will provide daily fortified porridge to 100 vulnerable students at Lotus Community School. This meal will improve nutrition, boost attendance, and support learning. Under the programme, we will also train local cooks, work with healthcare workers, and conduct screenings to ensure sustainability and long-term community impact.

Challenge

In Kawama, Ndola, many children arrive at Lotus Community School hungry, weak, and unable to focus. Malnutrition not only threatens their health but also their ability to learn and stay in school. Without consistent meals, these children face stunted growth, poor academic performance, and higher dropout rates-trapping them in a cycle of poverty and lost potential.

Solution

The Tummy2Class Nutrition Program will provide a daily serving of fortified porridge to 250 vulnerable children at Lotus Community School. This consistent meal improves focus, energy, and school attendance. We'll also train local cooks, engage caregivers, and work with healthcare workers to monitor child health, creating a sustainable model that nourishes both body and mind.

Long-Term Impact

Well-nourished children are more likely to attend school regularly, perform better academically, and reach their full potential. By addressing hunger early, this program reduces dropout rates, improves health outcomes, and builds a foundation for lifelong learning. Over time, it empowers families, strengthens communities, and helps break the cycle of poverty through education and nutrition.
